  1. We discussed the phrase 'Indian summer' in a meeting earlier today and found some less problematic alternatives on Wikipedia. Germany: old woman's summer (Altweibersommer) Bulgaria: poor man's summer South America: little summer (Veranico) Turkey: pastrami summer (pastırma yazı)

      My favourite is Irish Gaelic in which it's called 'fómhar beag na ngéanna' translatable as 'little autumn of the geese'.
